The sketches usually feature just the two "A-Hole" characters and the guest host as a comedic foil to the two's antics in everyday situations, following their brainless attempt at even the most menial task (e.g. describing a thief to a police officer, working out with a trainer).

The female A-Hole usually spends the whole sketch playing with her hair and whining, occasionally throwing in a pop culture "impression" that is impressive only to her other half.
